It’s come up to that day again, the one where you tell that special someone – friend, family or lover – how much they mean to you.
Yep, it's Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t have to mean a break from gaming. There are more than enough great love stories, romantic experiences and just darn right ridiculous games out there dealing with romantic themes.
And, no, they’re not all dating sims!
League of Legends is a great game to play with friends, solo or with a partner. Every year Riot Games release a Valentine’s Day skin or two, as part of, for example, its “Heartseeker”, “Sweetheart” or “Debonair” ranges.
In this legendary MOBA, you can play with up to five friends in a normal or ranked 5v5 on its main map Summoner’s Rift, or ARAM (All Random, All Mid) on the Howling Abyss map.
And on Valentine’s Day you’ve got to play as some of the recognized couples within the game, like Xayah and Rakan, Vi and Caitlyn? (hat tilt to Arcane), or Lucian and Senna.

Although, we often wonder if the true love story is with the lovers or Squall’s badass gunblade. Anyway, FF8 Remastered is available to purchase for PC on Steam.
